Secretary Xu motioned Fu Xiao to come in. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
An old man with a kind face was sitting at the desk.
With a smile on his face, he watched her walk over, waved at her, and motioned for her to come sit over...
"Kid, you look so much like your father..."
Fu Xiao was very respectful to the old man in front of him and did not refute his words.
While I was still thinking about how to respond to him, he spoke again, this time with a little apologetic tone, "I have to say sorry to you..."
She was slightly stunned, not knowing why he said that.
He explained in a gentle voice: "Knowing that your grandfather was ill, I asked someone to investigate the Mu family's affairs."
He sighed, "I personally assigned your father to carry out that mission. At that time, he had already asked for a long vacation, saying that he wanted to accompany his wife to give birth."
"But the mission is too tight. Anyone who goes there may not come back. But if your father goes, there is a chance that he can complete it. The mission is really important to our country."
That mission was indeed very difficult and very important, and it concerned the lives of many people. Many elite soldiers had been selected, but the leader was crucial.
He had not originally planned to let Mu Lianshen go, after all, he was the only son left by Old Mu.
But he got the news and came resolutely...
“But he still went.”
The old man looked at Fu Xiao with guilt in his eyes.
"Although the mission was accomplished, I didn't expect that it would become the fuse that destroyed your family..."
Fu Xiao was shocked. She didn't expect that he would tell her this. Logically, he didn't need to say it. After all, it was Mu Lianshen's responsibility.
This was not the reason she cared about. Mu Lianshen had his responsibilities, and it was not that she did not understand. What made her angry was why he had never noticed anything wrong in all these years?
She suppressed her emotions and replied with a smile: "You are too kind... He is a soldier and it is his duty."
The old man looked at her with a loving smile on his face, "You are a good child..."
But he still felt a little guilty. He felt guilty towards the Mu family. The moment he heard the news, he wanted to see the child.
But when I saw her, I didn't know what to say.
Although the Mu family is righteous, they still owe this child.
As an outsider, he couldn't say too much.
Well, leave it to time...
He took a box from the table and handed it to her. "This is a small gift I prepared for you. Please accept it."
In front of him, she didn't dare to refuse.
Fu Xiao took it with both hands, "Thank you."
Seeing that she was not shy, the old man nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Secretary Xu walked into the room and handed the prepared medicine to the old man, "Leader, please drink the medicine..."
The old man waved his hand casually, and did not turn around when he heard his words. He just said, "Put it there first..."
Continue talking to Fu Xiao.
Fu Xiao looked at the medicine placed beside him and reminded him, "Take the medicine first."
The old man glanced at Secretary Xu who was holding the medicine behind him, and took it with a smile, "Okay, I'll drink it."
He took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Fu Xiao handed him a cup of tea from the side to reduce the bitterness of the medicine.
The old man smiled and sighed, "When you get old, you have a lot of bad habits."
Fu Xiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. The old man in front of him used to be a hero on the battlefield, but now he was too old to endure the torture of illness.
She is a doctor, and she can tell from the old man's face that he has many old illnesses, which are probably the sequelae of the war.
It is because of their hard work that we can have a peaceful life in the future.
The old man knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression. He pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that she was a good child.
Her eyes fell on the thick stack of documents on the table. It could be seen that the old man must be very busy, but he still took time to meet her, an irrelevant person.
The old man followed her gaze and smiled, "There are a lot of things to deal with recently."
"There is no other way. The civil unrest has not yet been resolved and there is still a lot to be done."
Fu Xiao couldn't help thinking: Yes, most of the capable people are staying in the bullpen now, isn't it because the civil unrest has not been settled...
It was not until the college entrance examination was resumed that the country slowly got back on track.
But he still looked like a good kid.
I looked at the old man in front of me with respect and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
The old man looked at her with a smile on his face, "You are a good child."
Fu Xiao just smiled and stood there politely.
The elegant old man took her aside to talk about some other things and asked her some questions.
After listening to her words, the old man felt mixed emotions. What a smart child.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and his voice was full of praise: "My child, you are very smart. Study hard, you have a long future ahead of you."
The old man suddenly became interested. He walked to the long table on the side, spread out white rice paper, picked up the brush, and looked at Fu Xiao with a smile: "Child, grandpa will give you a calligraphy."
Then he began to write.
Fu Xiao walked forward and watched the word slowly take shape.
The brushwork is vast and sophisticated, the composition is natural and long, and when the brushstrokes interweave, the characters are formed.
A bright future ahead.
Good word....
Although I don’t understand calligraphy, these words really feel very artistic.
Her eyes sparkled and she exclaimed, "Good handwriting."
The old man put down his brush, his face full of smiles.
Then he started to organize the rolled-up rice paper on the long table and put them into the drawer.
